This job is for the birds! That doesn't mean I don't like it. Just, I have a new appreciation for the work of our feathered friends. How the h--- do they weave nests out of not-very-flexible materials without being possessed of two five-fingered hands?
In the birds' nests we have woven we have placed artificial cardinals. We are waiting to see whether anyone notices they are two male cardinals. I think birders are more likely to be offended than anyone else--but we're prepared with arguments about being "progressive."...
Please appreciate the intensive research and development that has gone into the preceding two paragaphs. First, I needed to look up the proper participles for the infinitive "to weave." Second, I tried to find online videos of birds weaving nests. For the first item, you see my choice above, right or wrong though it may be. For the second, I didn't find anything dramatic. However, I was able to learn that birds weave nests using their beaks, and that they stand on or in the nest while working. Owing to relative disproportion of size, I didn't have this option.
I am trying to start a blog. So far I can't access it.

Well, well... Congrats Diana. It looks like I get to be first. I always was fascinated with real birds nests. My Mom had to point out they were pretty but dirty when I was a kid. I let my kids explore anyway which is why I have 2 'biologists' and a teacher, I guess. Good for them! Good for you for trying something different. CJ
Hi, Diana.
That's cool that you have a blog. My kids have multiple blogs, and they spend lots of time posting on their friends' blogs and responding to posts that their friends send them.
It sounds like you're having a lot of fun at your tree-decorating job. Does it continue beyond Christmas, or is this just a seasonal thing?
Someone here at work tried to set up a blog for me, but then neither of us could find it or access it again; it's lost in the ethernet, I suppose!
Hope you are well...
Erica
